Who do you see?

As a believer when God looks at you he sees Jesus.  He does not see your faults, mistakes, and failures God sees you as a winner, level headed, and perfect.

2 Corinthians 3:18 (NKJV)

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Who do you see when you look in the mirror, face to face, more than that do you like what you see? 

While coaching little league baseball I have told the players that the worst condemnation is self condemnation.  If you see yourself doing bad than you are going to do bad… Same as if you see yourself as doing well you will do well.

Most everyone has read Romans 8:1 and what it says about condemnation but I want to take a minute and read it from the Message translation.

The Solution is Life on God’s Terms

Romans 8:1-2   

With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ's being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.

My desire is that from here on out that when you look in the mirror you see Jesus… even Jesus said “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father”.

As I have said before right believing produces right living so in some ways I feel like we need to just go back to the basics.  To find this I look to Jesus and his teachings.

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” he went on to say in.

John 8:12 (KJV)

Then Jesus spake again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life?

As a child I was taught a song that spoke about not hiding it under a bushel… “Let your light shine”.  My interpretation of that is let people see Jesus in you.  So if people are supposed to look at you and see Jesus, wouldn’t you think that when you look at yourself you should see Jesus as well?

How do we do this? By beholding Jesus… by believing that we are more than conquerors... that all things are possible! 

Stop focusing on what the devil is trying to get you to believe about yourself… focus on Jesus, behold the Glory of Jesus and everything that this means for you today!

God wants you to behold as in a mirror the glory of His Son who is in you by His Spirit. As you do this, His Word says that you are being transformed from glory to glory — from poor to rich, sick to healed, loser to winner!

Jesus is in you.  So next time when you look in the mirror see what God see’s “Jesus”!

God Loves You!
